I just bought new car. The color is black.

The following is the thing I will do but I am not sure it is the right process or not.

1.Wash car with Wolfgang Auto bathe
2.Claying by Wolfgang Elastic Poly clay
3.Wash car again
4.Apply Wolfgang Deep gloss Spritz sealant
5.Apply Wolfgang fuzion spray wax

If any body can comment the above process is ok or not.

Thanks for all comment
 
My understanding is the Spritz Sealant needs about 12 hours to fully cure. I would wait until that's done before topping it with the wax.

Congratulations on the new car and welcome to AutoGeek!

Hi Thawatchai,


Here's my comments.... your process above is okay but a better process would be to add a fine cut polish to the process and then use a normal paint sealant like the Deep Gloss Paint Sealant.

I'd get a polisher to apply them too, take a look at a Griot's 6" DA Kit.



Question: What condition is the paint in right now when you look at the hood or the trunk lid in bright overhead sunlight?

To see if the new car has swirls you need to use overhead sunlight and stand in so the sun is shining down on a horizontal panel so that it reflects its light at your eyes.

See this article...

How to photograph and capture swirls in the sun


The big picture idea is this...

Hopefully the paint is in perfect condition as it should be since it's brand new.

Dealerships do NOT have a reputation for having trained staff that know how to wash, dry or detail new cars without inflicting swirls and scratches into the paint. That's why I wrote this article,


DON'T WASH CAR! by Mike Phillips



IF the paint on your new car looks good to you then do this,


1.Wash car with Wolfgang Auto bathe
2.Claying by Wolfgang Elastic Poly clay
3. Apply Wolfgang Finishing Glaze by hand or machine
5.Apply Wolfgang Fusion spray wax or Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant by hand or machine.



The Wolfgang Finishing Glaze is a fine cut polish and it will remove any surface impurities and perfectly prepare the paint for wax.

In the future you can use it to remove fine or shallow swirls and scratches.


If you don't own a polisher, consider getting a simple polisher like a Griot's Garage 6" Orbital Polisher in the future. It's easy to use and you'll be able to keep your new MB looking new yourself.

Hi Mike,
Thank you so much , Mike. I will follow your instruction.

One more Question , does the finishing glaze need time to cure?

Have a nice weekend.
 
Great looking car!!

Wolfgang deep gloss paint sealant is going to look bling bling on it.
It looks like MB finally got their headlight design down, they look good.

Polishes do not need to cure. Curing time is for most waxes and sealants.

Watch Mike's videos of how to use a DA polisher.

Hi Mike,
May I ask one more , if I want to apply Deep Gloss Spritz Sealant after apply Deep GLoss Paint Sealant , do I have to wait for 12 hour to let DGPS cure? Or I can apply any time?

Thank you
 
I just apply Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 5 hours ago. It is bad luck because it is raining and some rain is on hood of my car. This is not yet 12 hour as it need to cure and it is sensitive to moisture.
May anybody could let me know what I should do for this.
 
It wont come off that's for sure.
May as well wait it out, clean it up and give it a second coat when it's nice out.

In fact after you clean it you might not notice anything from the rain.
My suggestion is don't freak out.
 
The most important thing you can do for your new black car is to use proper washing techniques.
Invest in a foam gun (foam cannon), two buckets with grit guards and a leaf blower.
